When we two parted, In silence and tears, Half broken-hearted To sever for years, Pale grew thy cheek Colder thy kiss; Truly that hour foretold Sorrow to this.
The dew of the morning Sunk chill on my brow - It felt like the warning Of what I feel now. And light is thy fame: I hear thy name spoken, And share in its shame, And share in its shame.
I secret we met - I silence I grieve, That thy heart could forget, Thy spirit deceive. If I should meet thee After long years, How should I greet thee? With silence and tears.
And what I feel now - And light is thy fame. I hear thy name spoken, And share in its shame, And share in its shame. With silence and tears, With silence and tears.
\"When we two parted\", Poem from Lord George Gordon Byron written in 1808
